Chris,
   aha found it.

But how does one read the shd file ?
This look like where the job description etc SPOOL -LIST uses on windows
So i am guessing there is a way to read this and define the data delimiters

Hi John,

On windows if you use the HOLD keyword on the SETPTR statement, the
resulting print job will end up in the spooler directory of the system.

On my XP based system this directory is

WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS

There will be two files, one being a control file and the other being
the actual print job.

Hope that this helps

I have been looking at Universe in PICK flavour on Windows.

Does anyone know where the output goes with setptr mode 1 and HOLD.
(I have always used mode 3)

Is it accessible in basic with a file read.

where is the SPOOL - LIST job description data kept and can i access
this in
basic

It seems like there is a gui front end for spooler management under unix
but
not in windows
I would like to be able to come up with something that works with either
if
thats possible.
